Thomas R. Carper: “We have worked hard in our State at the State level to try to spend taxpayer money a lot smarter.”

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

If I had known--as you know, the breadth of the issues that we cover in this Committee are enormous. It is impossible for any of us to fully master each of them.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

I felt forever that there's actually revenues opportunities for the Postal Service through vote by mail.
